Cydia pomonella

Avilla, J. Teixido, A. Velasquez, C. Alvarenga, N. Ferro, E. Canela, R. Insecticidal activity of Maytenus species (Celastraceae) nortriterpene quinone methide against codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera Tortricidae). J. Agric. Food Chem. 2000, 48, 88-92. 

The larval aggregation pheromone of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera Olethreutidae), was shown to be a blend of (E)-2-octenal, (E )-2-nonenal, sulcatone and geranyl acetone in combination with either 3-carene and/or three saturated aldehydes (octanal, nonanal, decanal). 

Baculoviruses are generally named after the insect from which they were first isolated. For example, Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) was isolated initially from codling moth larvae and Anagrapha falcifera nuclear polyhedrovirus (AfNPV) was isolated from the alfalfa looper. This nomenclature is now widely accepted but it often conceals the number of insects that can be infected and the preferred insect host of the virus.

The most effective application technique for lepidopteran species is to permeate the atmosphere with synthetic pheromone, and to thereby prevent olfactory communication and mate finding. The mating disruption technique has been successfully applied in Europe to three lepidopteran insects from horticultural crops codling moth Cydia pomonella, and the grape berry moths Eupoecilia ambiguella and Lobesia botrana [132, 133].

Recognition of possible synthons in a target molecule is the most important factor to make its synthesis simple or complicated. Let us compare the efficiency and simplicity of three different syntheses of (8 ,10 )-8,10-dodecadien-l-ol (11), the female-produced sex pheromone of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella. This moth is a notorious pest of apple orchards.
